Oklahoma softball is now up to four players who have entered their transfer portal in the few days since its season came to an end. The first announcement came on Tuesday when freshman Corri Hicks announced on X that she’s looking to transfer to another school. Sophomore outfielder Maya Bland announced on social media she’d be entering the portal on Wednesday. kAmw2??29 r@@C 2?5 z256J {66 |4z2J 2C6 2=D@ 6IA64E65 E@ EC2?D76C 244@C5:?8 E@ 2 C6A@CE 7C@> s`$@7E32==’D yFDE:? |4{6@5 @?

In many ways, Oklahoma’s heartbreaking loss to Texas Tech in the Women’s College World Series semifinals seemed more like the beginning to a story than an end to one. The Sooners may have come up just short of earning a spot in the championship series, but it’s hard to imagine this group won’t have more opportunities. They had just eight returners from last year’s national championship run, the last of a historic four-peat, and 14 newcomers were expected to immediately take over that mantle.

Cade Horton never panicked when he got the Cubs down in the game, he continued to push through – which is what led to another win for the Norman native. Horton, a former Norman High and OU pitcher, earned his third win of his rookie season on the mound Tuesday for the Chicago Cubs in an 8-3 victory at the Washington Nationals. Horton faced a unique lineup and got into a few jams, but got out of the nation’s capital with a win. kAmw@CE@? 6?565 E96 H:?

Let it be known the 2025 softball season couldn’t have ended any better for coach Patty Gasso’s Sooners. It could have not ended, sure. Oklahoma could have gone super late at Devon Park Monday night. It could have gone beyond Monday night and into Tuesday morning and all of us could have made a go at yesterday on four or five hours of sleep.
